This photo was taken at the same spot as photo in Around Temple of Heaven Park post. You don’t have to be at the most visited areas to find interesting subjects. There is so much color here and so much detail in all of the ornaments and paintings. Someone took their time to make this pagoda super pretty. Click on the image to open it in my photo gallery and see it in better detail. This is HDR made from a single photo.
OK, I felt like it is time to put another Red Door out here. You can see previous photos if you look under categories and choose Beijing.
I have a few new photos from the recent trip but I don’t feel like they are ready to be posted yet, so I’ll go with one of the summer photos from Beijing. Number 3 in the Red Door Beijing Hu Tong series. This one has it share of use and abuse done to it. The left side is using aluminum wires to hold it together. I wonder if it is a cat door or just results of tear and wear, I don’t remember seeing any cats in China. See door #1 and door #2.

This is the second image in Beijing Hu Tong Red Doors photo series, see the first one here.
Temple of Heaven park is pretty big, and while most tourists, Chinese and foreign congregate at the main attraction, it is worth to explorer other parts of the park as well. You’ll find some interesting architecture and no hordes of people around you. This is under a pagoda on the west side of the park. Click on the image to see it large with better resolution.
